Review of Funny Cow

I didn't know what to hate more the beast-like working class men with misogynistic treatment of women, or the heroine of the film who totally chokes up on stage when we were expecting something special from Maxine Peake, who, in any case , turns in a bravura performance.

I don't know why most films set in north of England have to be so bleak. This is not a comedy.
